A Postgres trigger fills a re-evaluation queue only when a consumer already exists (e.g. "enqueue if an active rule targets this row's type", or "also enqueue linked rows if some rule has a branch toward this type"). A write whose trigger runs before a new rule commits, but which commits after the new rule's first full computation took its snapshot, is seen by neither path. Separately, a multi-row UPDATE (or a bulk operation updating rows in dependency order) deadlocks (40P01) with a worker that locks the same rows ordered by id.
